Standalone Super Gravitron mini game?

[pubjoe]

Hi Terry and fellow Terry fans.

I've often thought it would be good if the super gravitron was available as a free vvvvvv sample.  I know it would be a bit of a spoiler for the full game but it would be fantastic to be able to say to people "check out this hardcore skill game - can you beat my score?".

Well I thought that, but now I think it would make an even better 69p mobile game like super hexagon.  It's well suited to touch screen as you only need left and right buttons for the megatron (just like hexagon's controls) and it would make an ideal game for a few minutes toilet fun.

Either way, I think it might just bring some new players to vvvvvv once they've tried the gravitron and heard the incredible accompanying music.

It's called Super Gravitron. Or, were you thinking of another game which I don't know about?
If you meant the Super Gravitron, then that was already suggested (the one about selling it for 0,69 on the iPhone, etc.), and might be a good idea since Super Hexagon is, but Terry might or might not concord with this... I don't know.

There are parts of the game which are very different from the Super Grav., so they might not like the game but like the SG (and the regular Gravitron).

Gravitron! Of course it is.

I wrote a short reply earlier as I was busy at work.  Thanks for correcting me on the name - oops - I've since edited my post.

It is quite different gameplay from the rest of the game, but I don't think of that as a problem.  It still demonstrates souledge's brilliant music and it still demonstrates the pure skill based gameplay, though in a much more intense way.  If it was bought as a standalone mini-game, then I can't see anyone being dissapointed that vvvvvv isn't one long gravitron.

My main motivation for posting is simply that it'd be nice if the gravitron challenge was available to more people.  Many people my age who appreciate quick bursts of oldschool skill-based games tend to not really buy proper video games anymore but do buy mobile games.  I'm not really bothered about ios games specifically, but at least it's available to many people and you know what photographers say about the best camera, it's simply the one you have at the time.

Another correction: the nickname of who made the music is Souleye, not souledge.
And, there's still a word "megatron" in your post.
It's understandable that you make these mistakes. I suppose you don't play VVVVVV for a long time, as your last post here was on March 2011 or something.

I guess you're right.

I suppose it's good idea, then, if people buy phone games, but not computer games.

Are you trying to say that people think that the best game there is is the one they have at the time? ...

Ooooops!  I think I'm going to blame the iphone autocorrect for those. 

I mean that a phone is far from the best device to play games on but they're quickly available, so people do.

Have you guys heard of Ultra Gravitron?http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=844 It's a stand-alone gravitron game that's being developed by darkhog(http://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5048). The thread's been silent for a while though, so I'm not sure if it's still in development.
